If Pearl Jam was Phish?

edited September 2009 in The Porch
With the upcoming Spectrum show on All 'Hallows Eve (10/31) in mind.

Phish has in the past covered an entire album to mark the occassion:

10/31/94- Beatles- "White Album"
10/31/95- The Who- "Quadrophenia"
10/31/96- Talking Heads- "Remain in the Light"
10/31/98- Velvet Underground- "Loaded"

Realistically, what album would you wish PJ covered in Philly if they did the same thing? 3 thoughts:

1. The Who- "Who's Next"

2. Neil Young- "Harvest"

3. The Ramones- "Brain Drain"

  • Realistically,
    there is no way in hell PJ could pull of Who's Next,
    and i wouldn't want them too. ;)
    I'm doubting Harvest would be a go either.

    How bout they just play 2 of their OWN albums straight through?
    Realistically, ;););)

    HOW BOUT
    APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION

    rofl.
    :D

    I want either Vs. front-to-back or the Clash's London Calling, Neil Young's Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, or Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run.

    From the top of my head, I think these could be pulled off:

    - Temple of the Dog - Temple of the Dog
    - Mother Love Bone - Apple
    - Neil Young - Mirror Ball

    And, from the less realistic department: :lol:

    - AC/DC - Back in Black
    - Cake - Fashion Nugget
    - Metallica - Black Album
    Bern - September 13, 2006
    Berlin - August 15, 2009
    Lisbon - July 10, 2010
    Berlin - June 26, 2014
    Zurich - June 23, 2022

    If Pearl Jam was Phish, I wouldn't be on this board.

    That being said, how about:

    Black Crows, Shake Your Money Maker. :D

    Phish fuckin sucks and Trey is a loser.

    I don't like Phish at all either...BUT...you obviously missed the point of the thread

    Hmmm.
    I really wouldn't want to listen to a PJ cover concert but if i had to then.........

    PJ doing Phish's Farmhouse would be sweeet. ;)

    Pearl Jam & Phish are my two favs... The best..
    Seen PJ 21 times live from 1994-2019

    pj is my favorite band, but phish is up there, and they are bringing the heat this tour.

    most people hate on phish without having heard them or just based on a few songs.

    people do this with pj too in the real world away from this board, so it's sad to see people here do that to another band.

    if you don't like a band, don't post in a thread.

    obviously you have never listened to them or seen them live.

    if you have, your ears dont work as well as they should., because to say they suck is insane. You can say you dont like them but to say they suck is silly. They put on as good a live show as Pearl jam, and each one of them is "better" at their instrument, not including lead vocals, but they kill PJ when it comes to vocal harmonies.

    How about Pearl Jam covers Pearl Jam?

    Night 1 - Ten and the b-sides
    Night 2 - Vs and b-sides
    Night 3 - Vitalogy and b-sides
    Night 4 - No Code and b-sides

    Or they let the fans vote for the albums they would want to hear outright and then they chose what night to play them.

    Of course there would be additional songs before and or after the album was played, sort of like Torino in '06.

    Just a thought....
    If there were no Angels would there be no sin?

    by definition, Pearl Jam can not cover Pearl Jam.

    For arguments sake,
    what if they play Angel, or Whale Song?

    Would THAT be a cover of pearl jam?

    I have no problem saying I don't like Phish. I've bought their albums even went to a show. But I just don't get them and maybe never will. They picked up the torch after Jerry passed in 1995 and the dead stopped touring. IMO Phish were in the right place at the right time.
